*Burrito

Many of you will know we send weekly updates to the fur-Mums and Dads of the pets in our care in an effort to keep the family connected while they find a new, safe place to live away from their abuser. This is part of an update Mikayla, one of our fabulous Shelter Attendants, sent to *Burrito's human mum:

"Dear Mum

I am doing well, I am staying in a suite all to myself. The staff said they didn’t want me getting stressed around the noisy dogs and wanted to monitor me closely because of my [medical condition]*. I’m happy with that.

I have a nice, cosy bed with my pillowcase on it which is always kept warm cause the floor is heated morning and night! I have my water in a ceramic bowl and get my food in a slow feeder, box, or kong. It keeps me entertained which I love!

I know you’re not with me, but it smells like you are, as they spray your perfume on my bedding. I get lots of cuddles from all the staff and they care for me very much. I do miss you, I call out every day, but I know we will see each other soon.

Love Burrito"
